Erotica is simply high-class pornography; better produced, better conceived, better executed, better packaged, designed for a better class of consumer.

I never met a man who wasn't stupider than me.

The man takes a body that is not his, claims it, sows his so-called seed, reaps a harvest - he colonizes a female body, robs it of its natural resources, controls it.

We have a double standard, which is to say, a man can show how much he cares by being violent-see, he's jealous, he cares-a woman shows how much she cares by how much she's willing to be hurt; by how much she will take; how much she will endure; how suicidal she's prepared to be.

Truth is harder to bear than ignorance, and so ignorance is valued more--also because the status quo depends on it; but love depends on self-knowledge and self-knowledge depends on being able to bear the truth.

I'm a radical feminist, not the fun kind.

The essence of oppression is that one is defined from the outside by those who define themselves as superior by criteria of their own choice.
